Reviews
Jeb Dunnuck – “Leading off the Pinot Noirs and raised in 48% new French oak, the 2020 Peake Ranch Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has bright, candied red cherry and strawberry fruits, some floral, spicy, and new leather hints, medium to full body, a lush, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. It’s perfect for readers looking for a great Pinot Noir to drink over the coming 4-6 years as well as to get a peek at the style and quality coming from this address.” (94 Pts)
Wine Enthusiast – “Dark and ripe aromas of cherry are fruit forward but not overbearing on the nose of this bottling, which also shows hints of sagebrush. The palate lands with a deliciously ripe combo of cherry, strawberry and blackberry, as herb-oil elements and a hint of caramel arise on the finish.” (92 Pts)
Vinous – “The 2020 Peake Ranch Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is laced with crushed raspberry, mint, rose petal, cinnamon and blood orange. Gracious and light on its feet, with lovely palate presence and fine balance, the appellation Pinot is an absolute delight. Drink it over the next handful of years.”” (90 Pts)
